traordinary things when he got there.
a reporter accompanied Hermann on
his trip through market So did some
1900 other people, and all were much en-

that he did. The first thing he did on
alighting from q carriage at Sixth and
Elm was to strike up a conversation in
Italian with a discOnsOate banana mer-
